[Talking about the proliferation of guns in the U. S.

I really am a manifestation of my own fantasy.

I abused my body so much throughout my career that I am literally held,together by glue. The stuff I took thickens the bones and reinforces,the tendons.

[speaking of his life with a wife and three daughters] Living in a house,where you are the only man is a little like being the only guy left at,The Alamo. They just rule. Even our dogs are female. So there is no,chance.

I look back on Judge Dredd (1995) as a real missed opportunity.

The trouble with remakes is that people fall in love with the original.

[on the character of Rocky Balboa] I have always seen him as a 20th,Century gladiator in a pair of sneakers.

I made some truly awful movies. Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992),was the worst. If you ever want someone to confess to murder just make,him or her sit through that film. They will confess to anything after,15 minutes.

The one thing in my films. . . I only kill people that need to be killed.

Let me put it this way, the ones that deserve it get it and they get it,good and the ones that go after women really get it, you know what I,mean? Really get it.

[on being asked about themes in his movies at a press conference] I,always try to deal with redemption. I think everyone in this room like,everyone on the planet has regret, that one moment when they made the,wrong decision, sometimes you just never get your life back on course,and that theme from Rocky Balboa to Rambo, it just haunts me.

I like a good adversary. It makes you lose sleep and want to get up on,the morning and go to the gym.

Rambo is me before coffee in the morning. Rocky is me after coffee.

Regular artists borrow, geniuses steal.

[advice to actors who are training to appear as boxers in a musical,version of Rocky (1976) ] The hardest thing to do is to sell the,punch. You can teach a guy to punch, but the person receiving it has to,have the body movement. It starts with the feet, the swivelling of the,ankles, the knees and the hips, and then the head goes last. If you,just throw punches using your arms it looks like flailing.

[on The Expendables 3 (2014) ] I believe we finally got it right,in the third one - kind of like marriage.

I was taken off the streets and put into the limos and then groomed and,pushed out in poster sales and advertising sporting equipment and,whatever. . . It just kept building and building - I thought everybody,liked me; this is the thing to do. Success is like a jet stream; it,just sucks you along.

Creed (2015) has left me with the same good feeling.

[on if having action hero status hurt acting opportunities] Absolutely.

[Golden Globe Award 2016, thank you speech] I wanna thank my imaginary,friend Rocky Balboa, for being the best friend I ever had.

I could start a war in 30 seconds. But some countries spend 100 years trying to find peace. Just like good manners, peace has to be learned.

Success is usually the culmination of controlling failure.

It would be great to be able to pass on to someone all of the successes, the failures, and the knowledge that one has had. To help someone, avoid all the fire, pain and anxiety would be wonderful.

I want to turn my attention to movies about love relationships. Exploring the female psyche - there ought to be some interesting discoveries there. Love stories. If you do it right, people want to hear romantic dialog.

I have great expectations for the future, because the past was highly overrated. .
